    You may be joking and know this already, but he acquired Tesla Motors. He didn’t name it.

    lol. as some commentators have argued in similar cases, such a small settlement ($250k against the richest guy in the world?) could just as well be an indication of him getting rid of an annoyance, rather than some kind of admission of guilt

    Making excuses for the man, I see, what a shock.

    Never mind that the guy pulled his crank out and tried to get some girl just doing her job to have sex with him...he was just horsing around?

    What a sad little man you are.....better hope you don't have daughters and they face a guy just horsing around with his junk.....

    It's an allegation he denies. Os's point is that him paying out "hush money", given how little the amount is relative to his billions, is not in itself an indication of guilt.

    not making excuses, just observing that $250k may be a lot of money to you or me, but for Musk that's a tip at a restaurant

    It is a strong indication of guilt, the old too rich to deal with it just pay them the money - has happened like where exactly?

    Trump paid because he was guilty.
    Weinstein - guilty

    I mean where does that argument hold any water at all.

    If Elon paid, and it looks like he did, it was because he was guilty...

    I love his companies, Boring, Tesla etc....but the dude is a douche in real life - and should not be worshipped.

    A person can have good ideas and motives towards the planet and still think he is above the law and abuse his position of power.....

    I certainly can be obstinate - I am cognizant of whom I am for sure......unapologetically so.......

    We can all disagree politically and still love the Rockets.

    No one should be worshipped. Not Musk, not Trump, not Obama, not anyone.

    Rich people in general feel they are above the law and should be respected more. Musk isn't unique in that regards. I think the mistake a lot of people make is either in worshipping someone like Musk, or in expecting him to live up to some higher ideal. Maybe I'm cynical but I prefer to see it as being realistic.

    Musk has done some positive things for society, and I think can continue to do that. But he has a huge ego as well obviously haha.
